Scott's models appeared down the catwalk donning obi-turned-bow-cinched waists, colorful garden embroidered sleeves, and signature clean, crisp silhouettes inspired by 16th century Japan in the Momoyama period and Tagasode, meaning "whose sleeves" coming from one of Scott's favorite ancient screens. Bento box red, eggplant purple, and aged gold hues filled the collection and was accessorized with vellum umbrellas, Japanese Kasa hats, and Brian Atwood's mega-sized wedges to literally top of the collection.
